With over 120 African inspired dishes and a Shisa Nyama boasting a variety of game meats - everyone is sure to find their favourite
The 300 seater Chiefs Boma African Dining Experience Restaurant, located in the tranquil indigenous gardens of the Indaba Hotel, Spa & Conference Centre caters for all tastes. Cuisine is truly African from the North African Moroccan Dishes to Koeksisters and Melktert from the Cape. With over 120 dishes, everyone will find their favourite.
The Boma also boasts a “Shisa Nyama” grill where our Chefs will prepare your preferred cut of meat, carefully selected by our on-premises butcher, to your specification – a great combination of Buffet and Tailor-made Cooking to suit all tastes. A variety of game meats including Springbok, Impala, Ostrich and the Boma Signature “Big 5 Kebab” is also offered.
Enjoy Sundowners or Craft Beer on the deck overlooking the Boma Dam or meander through the Boma Herb Garden before sitting down to enjoy your meal to the sounds of the Resident African Marimba Band – and when all is done, enjoy a glass of red wine or roast a marshmallow over Boma Fire.
